NAME
icewm-prefoverride - override themable preferences file
SYNOPSIS
$ICEWM_PRIVCFG/prefoverride
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/prefoverride
$HOME/.icewm/prefoverride
/usr/local/etc/icewm/prefoverride
/usr/local/share/icewm/prefoverride
DESCRIPTION
Settings that override the settings from a theme. Some of the icewm pref-
erences that control the look may be set by the theme. However, the set-
tings in this prefoverride file override that. It is safe to leave this
file empty initially. Note that this file is meant for themable prefer-
ences and a few icewm startup settings cannot be set here, like "Splash".
FILES
Locations for the prefoverride file are as follows:
$ICEWM_PRIVCFG/prefoverride
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/prefoverride
$HOME/.icewm/prefoverride
/usr/local/etc/icewm/prefoverride
/usr/local/share/icewm/prefoverride
The locations are searched in the order listed; the first file found is
read and the remainder ignored.
